1 answer:

4 0

One way of representing attaining the positive externality by the government is through the promotion of education.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an externality?</h3>

When the cost or advantage is received by a third party that is not related to the economic activity, then it is considered an externality.

A positive externality is the arousal of a positive effect on either production or consumption. The act of penalizing a company for pollution, imposing taxes on citizens earning more than $250,000 and the reduction in rates of interest would all be classified as negative externalities.

Therefore, the encouragement of education by the government is regarded as a positive externality.

Answer:

1. Salary expense = $2,300,000

Withholdings = $494,500

Salary payable = $1,805,500

2. Total fringe benefits = $185,150

3. Payroll tax = $494,500

Explanation:

1. Employee salary expense is given as $2,300,00

Withholdings is given as $494,500. This is the sum total of federal and state FICA taxes and unemployment tax.

Salaries payable is employee salary expense less withholdings.

Salaries payable = 2,300,000 - 494,500

= $1,805,500

2. Employer-provided fringe benefits includes medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and voluntary retirement plan contribution. The corporation matches employee contributions to a voluntary retirement plan up to 6% of their salaries and employee contribution to voluntary retirement plan is $115,000. Since this amount is 5% of salaries, the corporation will contribute an equal amount.

Medical insurance premiums paid by employer = $46,000

Dental insurance premiums paid by employer = $16,100

Life insurance premiums paid by employer = $8,050

Employer contribution to voluntary retirement plan = $115,000

Total fringe benefits = $185,150

3. Employer payroll taxes includes Federal and state FICA taxes and unemployment tax.

Federal FICA tax (rate of 7.65%) = (7.65/100) * 2300000 = $175,950

State FICA tax (rate of 7.65%) = (7.65/100) * 2300000 = $175,950

Unemployment tax (rate of 6.20%) = (6.20/100) * 2300000 = $142,600

Total pay roll tax = 175950 + 175950 +142600

= $494,500

vichka [17]

Answer:

b. $290,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is shown below:

= Net income reported on the income statement + decrease in account receivable

where,

Net income reported = $280,000

And, the decrease in account receivable is $10,000 ($70,000 - $80,000)

So, the cash flow from operating activities

= $280,000 + $10,000

= $290,000

The decrease in account receivable implies that more cash is come so it would be added and the same is shown above

The Loan Amortization Schedule is most appropriate way to solve all parts of this problem.

The first step to construction of the Amortization Schedule is to determine the payments made annually, PMT (interest and principal).

Using a Financial calculator, this can be determined as ;

Pv = $16,000

r = 5%

n = 4

Fv = $0

p/yr = 1

Pmt = ?

Thus PMT is $4,512.19.
